For Sale: 1971 Jaguar E-Type in Atlanta, Georgia

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1971 Jaguar E-type Series III Coupe. Finished in Willow Green over Biscuit, this car is desirably equipped with a four-speed manual and air conditioning. Excellent and complete chrome with nice glass and consistently good finish quality over a straight and rust-free body. While this example isn't quite up to concours standards, it's nicer than what most people would think of as a driver. Some of the rubbers are showing their age (most notably the bonnet seal), but the car overall presents well. Interior is tidy and everything works as it should, including the correct Philips AM/FM/SW radio.

The current enthusiast owner of approximately five years has undertaken a mechanical and interior refresh programme to include new leather hides on the seats and a new headliner, a rebuilt power steering rack, ReOpus electronic ignition, an A/C system service (the air blows cold), plus comprehensive routine maintenance. Under previous ownership this Jag got a new clutch (including hydraulics), a complete suspension and braking overhaul, engine reseal and carburetor rebuild (all four, of course).

Its driving dynamics are where this E-Type really shines. The original, numbers-matching 5.3 liter V12 paired with a four-speed manual gearbox is quite an impressive package - it's properly fast, the engine likes to rev, and its sound in the upper range is reminiscent of a Ferrari V12.

This is a three-owner car and we believe the mileage, at just over 40k, to be original. This example is well sorted and ready for touring with no excuses. For more information about this 1971 Jaguar XKE for sale at Motorcar Studio in Atlanta, please call 404-692-5250.
